    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods, and kits for use in said methods, that aid in the diagnosis and evaluation of a pediatric subject for traumatic brain injury (TBI), using ubiquitin carboxy-terminal hydrolase L1 (UCH-L1), glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), or a combination thereof. Also disclosed herein are methods, and kits for use in said methods, that aid in determining whether a pediatric subject would benefit from and thus receive an imaging procedure, such as MRI or head computerized tomography (CT) scan based on the levels of GFAP, UCH-L1 or GFAP and UCH-L1.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods that aid in the hyperacute diagnosis and evaluation of a human subject that has sustained or may have sustained an injury to the head, such as mild, moderate, severe, or moderate to severe traumatic brain injury (TBI), using an early biomarker, such as ubiquitin carboxy-terminal hydrolase L1 (UCH-L1), glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), or a combination thereof. Also disclosed here are methods that aid in the hyperacute determination of whether a human subject that has sustained an injury or may have sustained to the head would benefit from and thus receive a head computerized tomography (CT) scan based on the levels of UCH-L1. These methods involve detecting changes of levels of an early biomarker, such as ubiquitin carboxy-terminal hydrolase L1 (UCH-L1), glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), or a combination thereof, in samples taken from a human subject at a time point within about 2 hours, such as about 10, 12, or 20 minutes, after the subject has sustained or may have sustained an injury to the head and a second time point about 3 hours to about 6 hours after the first sample is taken.
